Comfy – the one whose baby Buzz is nothing less than a Diva for me, the one whose travel adventures never fail to amaze me, the one whose ‘Wordless Wednesdays’ always draw a ‘wow’ out of me, the one whose blog posts are like my daily dose of heartwarming halwa….gajar ka halwa to be precise 😀

It started with an email from her letting me know that she is flying down to my state, my area, my block! Once the plan was in place, excitement took over. ‘How would it be like to meet Comfy in person? See Buzz for real?’ – kept imagining a dozen different versions of the scene until the big day arrived.We were to meet for lunch with our respective babies along, in this beautiful little restaurant close to my workplace. I just had to leave from office for lunch break, pick up Paapu from home, be at the venue on decided time and gracefully greet the visitors.Sounded simple in my head. Apparently that was not supposed to be

I arrived almost 30 minutes late, sprinting and panting, pushing stroller on one hand, clutching cellphone on the other,somehow managing an excited ‘Hi!!’ and then blabbering incoherently “Am so sorry to keep you waiting..Ooh look Buzzie! How cute is she! You know what? Paapu.. cereal..didn’t eat..feeding time..err..umm..sorry…” One fine greeting that was 😛 However, she made it all easy with a calm, composed, “No problem. I understand” 🙂

Finally, when my mind could see things clearly, I set my eyes on Buzz..and could never take it off her! Twinkling little pair of eyes and the cutest little lips with the most disarming smile ever. And when she uttered a delightful ‘Hi Baby’ and waved at Paapu, there was an instant toothless smile back from Paapu too.

As we ate, keeping a watch on our babies, there was a lot of talking, abundant laughing and considerable gushing over the awesome buffet menu..especially the dessert section. 😀

It is strange how we spoke like we had left off somewhere..nothing like meeting someone for the first time.

Oh, and we had a happy secret going on too 😉 Revs, you there? We might not have done a great job hiding this entire meeting plan from you. But, hey..you are surprised..or better still, furiously jealous now. Arn’t you? Tee hee hee.

Okay. Mission accomplished 😀 😀 * High Fives Comfy *

[ Urgent note to readers: If I go missing or get killed suspiciously by weird causes such as envelope bomb from Ireland, please take this as cue to know who did it. Ahem 😛 ]

The two hours went by fast and the only setback was the lack of more time..which we could have spent outdoors, taking a walk in the downtown or driving to a nearby park and playing with the babies. I hope there is a ‘next time’ for that soon.

Until then, I’ll think of this lovely noon, once a while, and smile at the thought of ..

…Buzz’s naughty grin as she messed with her Mamaa’s long hair, just because she was told not to 😀

🙂 Glad you had fun girls. It’s not like I totally dint know about it. If you dint know, Comfy asked my PERMISSION before she sent you the first mail asking if you could meet 🙂 Sure, I trusted you when you told me that you had to cancel the plan because you were busy at work. Ah well, so much for trust!
